Lindesay, House, Mansion, Darling Point, Sydney
A harbourside mansion that has witnessed 180 years of progress yet remains untouched. It's this timelessness, and the beautiful gardens, that have made it so popular for weddings and other events. Come and experience nearly two centuries of gracious living.
Dating from 1834, visit the elegant and historic property, Lindesay, with its stunning Georgian interiors and a fine collection of English and colonial furniture. The home is complemented by an elegant parterre garden and well tended grounds with uninterrupted Sydney Harbour views.
You will arrive in splendour around a circular drive, overlooked by the house. Step onto the sheltered sandstone courtyard that gives way to a private garden overlooking Sydney Harbour. Sneak into the parterre garden or glassed gazebo for a moment of reverie and reflection. Lindesay was the first house to be built at Darling Point by the Colonial Treasurer Campbell Drummond Riddell in 1834 and named after the Acting Governor, Lieutenant Patrick Lindesay, who reserved the land for Riddell - his friend and fellow Scotsman. The architecture of Lindesay is one of the first domestic examples of Gothic Revival in Australia.
